Red, White and Blue on both sides of the Pond

Across  the Pond Sew Along

Susie picked the theme for this month's Across the Pond Sew Along - RED, WHITE and BLUE.  And I love it.  Can you tell? 

 

Think summer picnic - think Flag holidays - think Stars and Stripes.

Patchsmith Star Mug Rug - three variations in one pattern

Ticker Tape Mug Rug - as many looks as your scrap bag will allow!

Waving the Union Jack in Britain

And celebrating with Uncle Sam

Red, white and blue also shouts 'sailing' and 'sea' - as shown here in Summer Crafter's new 'High Seas' pattern.
